1. How to Use Incense Premium White/Red Gawi
-
Using Incense Sticks or Resin:
-
Prepare a Burner: You can use an incense holder, a ceramic or metal burner, or a traditional mabkhara (incense burner) if you’re using the resin directly.
-
Burning Incense Sticks: Light the tip of the incense stick with a match or lighter. Allow the flame to burn for a few seconds before gently blowing it out, leaving a glowing ember at the tip. Place the stick in an incense holder and let the smoke fill the room.
-
Burning Resin (Gawi): If using resin, place a small piece of the Gawi on a charcoal disc (often found in incense kits). Light the charcoal and let it heat up until it starts to glow. Once the charcoal is hot, place the resin on it. The resin will start to melt and release its fragrant smoke.
-
Using in a Diffuser: Alternatively, you can use Gawi resin in an essential oil diffuser, but this is not as common as using a charcoal burner. You may need to use small amounts for this.
-
-
When to Use:
-
During spiritual or religious practices like prayer or meditation.
-
For purifying the air in a room or enhancing the atmosphere of a space.
-
To relax, de-stress, or create a peaceful, calming ambiance.

2. How to Use Frankincense Omani Luban Hojar
-
Burning Frankincense Resin:
-
Charcoal Method: Similar to Gawi, place a piece of Luban Hojar on a lit charcoal disc. The charcoal will heat up and cause the resin to emit smoke.
-
Direct Incense Burner: Some incense burners are designed specifically for resins. Place the resin in a burner meant for solid incense. This method allows you to burn the resin without the use of charcoal.
-
Incense Holder with Sand: For a more traditional approach, you can use a small, deep incense burner filled with sand. Place the Frankincense resin on top and light it directly. This method, however, requires care since the resin must be monitored closely.
-
-
When to Use:
-
In religious or spiritual rituals, including prayers, offerings, and blessings.
-
To cleanse a space of negative energy and promote a positive, uplifting atmosphere.
-
For meditation or relaxation practices where the calming, uplifting scent helps you focus and achieve peace of mind.
-
To create a sacred space for self-reflection or introspection.

3. How to Use Arabic Gum (Gum Arabic)
Arabic gum has versatile uses. It’s used in incense-making, spiritual rituals, and even medicinal applications:
-
Using Arabic Gum in Incense:
-
Binding Agent for Incense: If you're making your own incense or resin blend, Arabic gum is often used as a binder. You’ll dissolve the gum in warm water and mix it with powdered herbs or resin to form a sticky paste. Then, you can roll this paste into small sticks or cones and let it dry.
-
Burning Arabic Gum: You can burn small pieces of Arabic gum on a charcoal disc just like other resins. It has a gentle, subtle scent that will mix well with stronger resins like Frankincense or Gawi.
-
-
Using Arabic Gum for Spiritual or Healing Purposes:
-
Burning for Purification: Like frankincense, Arabic gum is believed to purify spaces. You can burn it as an offering to cleanse your home or to create a harmonious atmosphere.
-
Healing Rituals: In some cultures, Arabic gum is used to create a medicinal smoke that’s believed to promote physical health. It can be used in traditional medicine for sore throats or to soothe a cough.
-
-
For Medicinal Use:
-
As a Dietary Supplement: Arabic gum is safe for consumption in small quantities. It’s often used as a natural remedy to support digestion. To consume, you can mix it in warm water or in herbal teas.
-
Making a Gum Syrup: Arabic gum can be dissolved in water to make a syrup that is sometimes used as a remedy for throat irritation.
